For full realization OF the diminutive
mental and moral proportions of Abel,
Hon. George G. Rawlins's opponent.
the public Is respectfully commend
ed to circular gotten out by
him and given wide circulation this morn
ing. 1t Is a perfect patent medicine adver-
tisement in which Abel is set up as the
cure for all ills. The doctors and drug
gists. the mothers and babies are repre-
scented as crying aloud to have
him elected over Mr.. Rawlins.
He actually pledges himself-alone and un'
aided-to restore mixed schools. 1t is sup
posed that he will bring about mixed
schools again whether the the Legislature
likes it or not.
Such are the contents OF the circular.
laying aside all joking. II certainly shows
up his gross ignorance and blatant dema-
goguery to better advantage than anything
he has said or done during this memorable
campaign

Bruce Motfat, esq. the well known in

received part OF the kitchen waste water.
There was no other beet in the vicinity, the
solitary vegetable growing alone and iso-
lated among lot Of tough grass.
Yesterday Mr. Motfat went H. dig up the
bee, and found, to his profound surprise.
that it
HAD GROWN IN THE AIR,
literally speaking. The beet was well
formed and healthy looking. but 1t was sus-
pended several inches above the earth. and
was held in that position by the tough grass
from which it derived its sustenancs and
mois,ures. A bunch of tibrous little roof

shows the means by which moisture had

nothing had been done to prevent it or to
cut off the supply from the main pipe.
Suddenly there were explosions in two or
three places at once, and many fine build
ings were wrecked and fifteen persons
were seriously injured, several of them
fatally. The escaping gas had become
ignited and train of explosions followed
very much as they occur
in various quarters of coal mine where
the atmosphere is charged with inham-
mable dust. The disaster points unerring.
ly to carelessness in pipe-laying. The
gas when allowed to escape freely into
cellars became as dangerous as
the deadliest compounds of sunken
coal-pits. Householders, who have
been pleasing themselves with the
consollng reflection that their homes are
heated and lighted at minimum OF COM
fort, will haye to moderate their transports
to some extent. Natural gas is not the
harmless toy and perfect servant which
they have imagined it to be. 1t needs to
be watched and kept under ward or else
it will become the deadliest foe of the
household.

Northwestern Sentiment for
Blame.

An occasional correspondent of the
New York Tribune, who has been travel
ing through the Northwestern States, in
a recent communication to that paper, in
regard to the politics of that section says {:
There is likewise very little stir among the
Republicans, but this quiet state of feeling
seems to spring from the fact that the repub-
licans of the Northwest sre resting in the
opinion that the political issues of the next
year are already settled; that Mr.. Blame is
again to be the republican candidate, and by
reclamation; and is just as sure of trium-
plant ele ction West of Pittsburg, all the
way north to Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee,
St. Paul, then south to Des Mones, Kanass
City, Topeka, west to Denver and back by
Lincoln and Omaha, l find this to be the
republican view of the situation.
Talking yesterday with an experienced
politician of Iowa-and he answered my in
QuirIes as do nine-tenths of the republicans l
come il contact with through all this region
Il drew from him very nearly these words :
"Just now there is not much interest taken
in politics by the republicans of Iowa, nor of
the entire West, as far as | know; and for
this reason, that their minds are entirely
made as to the presidential candidate next
tain no questions as to the nomination of Mr..
Blaine, and are equally confident of his elec-
ton. The republicans of these Northwestern
States have great respect and Arbitration for
MIR. Sherman, for General Hawley and
our own good Senator, Mr.. Allison; but
they have little thought of voting for any
one of them next year for the Presidency. We
believe that MIR. Blaine by native powers, as
well as through the education of his life, is
the best equipped living man for the Ameri-
can Presidency. Three years ago we made
the fight. and with the people won, loosing
the result at the last moment by the blunder-
ing of single man. BY that one accident
we lost New York, New Jersey, and Con.
necticut. On the night OF the last Presidential
election. the republicans of the Northwest
did not furl their Gamers and march away
rather they stacked their arms and slept on
the field. And when the next Presidential
battle opens they will be found right there
ready to seize and hold that which they SO
gallsntly won four years before. The West
ern Republicans are quiet, but in a united
and healthy state of misd, and never in a
better condition for a national fight"
